LEAKED: New 33mm f/1.4 Autofocus X Mount Lens (Yongnuo?)

A new third party 33mm f/1.4 autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount has now appeared on the Chinese social media platform Weibo (via Camerabeta).

I just got a new domestic automatic lens, 33mm F1.4, and the Fuji X mount version will be launched. At present, the price and release time are still uncertain. It is said that the price is very good. You can look forward to it.

The only thing we got is the image above.

The brand is still unkown, but some point out the similarity to some of the Yongnuo AF lenses available for other mounts.

Until now, besides the Fujinon XF 33mm f/1.4, we have the following third party 33mm f/1.4 autofocus lenses already:

When my Old XF23mmF1.4 Beat Sony Full Frame and other Wonderful Moments (but now Welcome my New XF23mmF1.4 R LM WR)

It’s Here

It’s never easy to let go gear you used and loved a lot. Gear like my good old Fujinon XF23mm f/1.4 R for example.

But now the time has come.

I’ve just received the new Fujinon XF23mm f/1.4 R LM WR and I’ve explained the reason why I bought it here already.

The Magic of Making Money by Buying Gear ;)

I bought the lens at Amazon IT here, as they had a better price than my local store and are also qualified for the Fujifilm cashback.

Convincing my wife of this investment went like this:

  1. I don’t need to pay for the lens, because I am paying it with the money I made from the X-T4 sale
  2. there is a sweet deal on the new XF23mmF1.4
  3. by buying the new XF23mmF1.4 I can get rid of the old XF23mm and make even more money
  4. I’ve booked a table for 2 for dinner at a fancy restaurant tomorrow. Yes, only for 2! It will be our first dinner without our son after 2+ years. Grandma is informed, she will watch after our son

This tells us one thing: photography is definitely an expensive hobby when you build up your system, but it gets much cheaper once you can fund new gear by selling old one.

Remember the Good

But I don’t let go my good old Fujinon XF23mm f/1.4 with a light heart, as I had many great moments with it. Let me name a few “episodes”.

Beating Sony ;)

Multiple Third Party X Mount AF Lenses Could be Coming Soon: SIGMA 23mmF1.4, TAMRON 11-20mmF2.8 and SAMYANG

Third Party X Mount AF lenses

Latest leaks, rumors and speculations suggest that the Fujifilm X System might grow of several third party autofocus lenses very soon.

Two lenses are confirmed at this point. One lens is not confirmed, but there are hopes for it come soon.

So let’s put some order in the latest rumors and speculations.

SIGMA

As we reported here, the specs for the Sigma 23mm f/1.4 DC DN have leaked. It will come also for Fujifilm X mount. So that’s sure to come soon.

It will be Sigma’s fifth autofocus lens for the X system in addition to the four they already offer here.

SAMYANG

This is a rumor that comes from our sources. Also in this case the announcement should be imminent. We don’t have additional specs for now, but it will come and it will be Samyang’s second AF X mount lens after the Samyang 12mm F2 AF.

TAMRON

Undoubtedly the lens most of you desire (as we can see from this survey): the Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD.

Now, at this point there are no rumors about it. All we have is a rumor that Tamron is having an announcement on February 22.

Tamron has basically already said back in 2021 that they will release the Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 also for Fujifilm X mount. Let’s hope that February 22 will finally be the day.

Rumor of Tamron February 22 Announcement fuels Hopes for Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8

Very soon, there will be a new third party autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount.

The one I talk about, will be coming from Samyang, as we reported here.

But the absolute top wish of the Fujifilm X community (based on this survey) is the lovely Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD mirrorless APS-C lens.

Tamron has already teased here this lens to come for Fujifilm, but so far we have no indication on when it will be launched.

Well, how2fly now shared on Twitter here that Tamron will have an announcement on February 22 (Japan time).

Of course this fuels hopes again for the Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8, but so far we have no further information on what is coming.

So let’s cross fingers we will get more than just one new third party AF lens for Fujifilm X soon ;).

RUMOR UPDATE: Upcoming Third Party Autofocus X Mount Lens is NOT from Chinese Manufacturer

We told you recently here that a new third party autofocus lens is about to come for the X system.

Well, now we have an important update that rules out quite some options.

According to information we have received, the upcoming third party AF lens will not be from a Chinese manufacturer.

So which are the brands left?

From those, who already offer AF lenses, we have Tokina, Tamron, Sigma, Samyang and Zeiss.

Let’s discuss the options:

Tamron

There is the lovely Tamron 11- 20mm F / 2.8 Di III-A RXD that Tamron itself hinted here would come also for the X mount in future.

Sigma

I think whatever Sigma has in terms of mirrorless DC lenses (DC = APS-C lenses), is already offered for X mount. But they could adapt an FF lens to the X mount. So if it is coming from Sigma, then it must be something new, or maybe adapted from their Full Frame glass, as for example Tamron did with their Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7.

Tokina

Tokina has until now only the Viltrox-clones for X mount. However, they have launched a dedicated mirrorless APS-C lens (for Sony) last year, the Tokina 11-18mm f/2.8. However, when they launched that lens Tokina has not hinted that it would come also for the Fujifilm X mount.

Samyang

I know Samyang offers the Samyang 12mm F2 AF lens for X mount. But I am not aware of Samyang having any other APS-C autofocus lenses available for other mounts.

Zeiss

I feel we can rule out Zeiss, as they are virtually dead in regards to AF X mount lenses. They could have been very successful, as they entered the AF X mount market when Fujifilm hardly had any lens available. But they did so by offering lenses that Fujifilm already offered at a lower price than the Zeiss Touit lenses. Such a missed opportunity.

Surprise

Will a new brand join? Well, I can’t rule that out either for now.

Your Guess

Just for fun, a little survey where you can make your guess on who will offer the next X mount AF lens ;).

The Next Autofocus X mount lens will be coming from...

Fujifilm FF220002 Camera Registration Spotted

the shape of the camera you see is the one of the X-S10, that I used for when I shared the X-S20 rumor. I just took that same shilouette for this patent, but this does not mean I want to say I am sure this is the X-S20 registered

Nokishita spotted a new Fujifilm camera registration with the code name FF220002.

The Fujifilm “FF220002” supports 5GHz Wi-Fi, which lets digicame-info speculate that it may be a higher end model.

Anything goes, from the Fujifilm X-Pro4 to a new X100 camera, a new GFX or even a mid-range camera (such as the rumored Fujifilm X-S20 or a Fujifilm X-E5 or Fujifilm X-T40) considering that Fujifilm is using 5GHZ WiFi also in sub $1,800 cameras.

What it is certainly not is all that entry level stuff like Fujifilm X-A8, Fujifilm X-M2 or Fujifilm X-T300, which Fujifilm declrared dead.

It usually takes 1 to 6 months for a camera to become public after a registration has been spotted.

NOTE: Sometimes registartions are even spotted AFTER the camera has been launched, so for example the X-E4 registration. But this does not seem to be the case with the FF220002.

Fujinon XF150-600mm Factory Tour – See how This Lens is Made

CineD gives us a look inside the Fujifilm factory and shows us how the Fujinon XF 150-600mm f/5.6-8 R LM OIS WR is made.

It’s one of the first factory tours we get after a long time, as during the pandemic no media was allowed into the Sendai factory about 2.5 hours north of Toyko.

There is not much new to learn, except for the fact that it takes 480 parts in order to assemble a single lens. But it is always nice to take a look inside the factory and see how much work and also care goes into the manufacturing of our gear.

Here on FujiRumors the XF150-600mm was a huge hit making it in the top three positions of the best selling lenses of 2022.

Trusted Reviews Raves About Fujifilm X-H2s and X-H2, but Only One of them Gets a 5 Star Rating

On BH Photo, customers average rating is 5 stars for both cameras.
On BH Photo, customers average rating is 5 stars for both cameras.

The Fujifilm X-H Line

Trusted Reviews raves about the latest Fujifilm cameras, the Fujifilm X-H2 and the Fujifilm X-H2s.

And while both are excellent, only one of them gets a 5 star rating: the Fujifilm X-H2.

Fujifilm X-H2

Our one five-star review for this week goes to Fujifilm for its ground-breaking APC-S camera. It’s well-constructed, weatherproof and lightweight, with a fantastic articulated screen, and a large and bright OLED viewfinder plus a control layout that few will have problems getting to grips with. This is one of the best cameras around.

Score: 5/5

Fujifilm X-H2s

The Fujifilm X-H2S is a versatile camera with a speedy burst mode, updated subject detection algorithm and support for 6K video. However, it’s not as high-resolution as the X-H2 nor as visually appealing as the Fujifilm X-T5, both of which can be found for less money.

Score: 4.5/5

So that’s the thing with PSAM dial cameras. They tend to get more attention by huge review sites than more niche retro styled cameras. And good press never hurts.

Also CineD declared the Fujifilm X-H2 the best camera launched in 2022 for video work. As working professional videographers, their opinion matters and debunks the myth that the X-H2s is the video centric cameras and the X-H2 the stills centric one. As we always told you, both are perfect hybrid machines, and the difference is not video vs stills, but speed vs resolution.

And and yet keep in mind that Fujifilm still offers more Retro styled camera lines than PSAM camera lines. So in my humble opinion there is little to complain for retro lovers like me and probably many of you if we look at the 2022 best sellers on FujiRumors, where the X-T5 demolished all sales records.
